Reviews

rlehlinger So let's start with the fact that this isn't a well made movie. It isn't written well (Mark Frost of Twin Peaks had a hand in the writing which is odd) it isn't edited well, it wasn't even thought out clearly in advance, but I love it.It has everything a B Movie gem should have. Terrible Editing, an amazing soundtrack, a story that doesn't quite make sense, and a mind blowing grand finale! The story is about an abusive and evil slave owner in the 1700's who is cursed and now his ghost is haunting the mansion he used to live in. A new family moves into the place in 1987 and is being tormented in each their own way by the "Masterson Curse".This movie actually has great special effects when you finally get to them and the ending is somewhat of an acid trip like experience. Reasons like this, the rarity, and of course the soundtrack are why I love this long forgotten gem.... that nobody seems to like. If you like finding old school B Movies for a good laugh then this is the movie for you. It is a little slow paced but the scary parts to me are rather creepy. Love what they did here.

dnbrddck David Ramsey playing white Plantation OWNER David Masterson and husband of wife Elizabeth Masterson, incorrectly displayed on this IMDb cast info! The popular black actor you picture, was a white man when he was in this film 28 years ago ???? I just viewed a recent purchase of this "Tara Terror". "As God as my witness...I will never go scared again!" How could such a glaring mistaken identity occur? The pop stars "Beat of the Heart" is pleasantly 80's. The music video with same song is fun. The plantation owner / song writer tune an interesting twist. The young son Josh reminds one of similar characters in B films like "Cameron' Closet" etc....innocent, gifted children pursued by evil forces. Watch Andrew Stevens tell Josh how to play games on dated computer formats. Fun stuff down South. Respectively Robert in Atlanta

brandonsites1981 Awful film about a family moving into a new house and falling prey to a rubber faced African voodoo monster that possesses Andrew Stevens and forces him to kill his family. The special effects are really that terrible, the entire cast is bland, and the situations that unfold in the film are a laugh riot. Good to watch and make fun of, otherwise avoid this piece of junk masquerading as a horror film. Rated R.

The Yeti This movie is really that bad. It has no in depth suspense or plot. The characters remain lost and the acting. Huh! Don't get me started. Do not watch this movie under any cost please! There are only about 2 killings and the voodoo story is rubbish. A more than it deserved 1 out of 10. I would have given it nothing!
